No - program must currently be executed via `pulumi up` or `pulumi preview`. These take care of setting up a deployment engine gRPC server and various other supporting services and then launching the program with pointers to these gRPC endpoints to actually drive deployments. 

Some more info on this here: <https://pulumi.io/reference/how.html>

There’s a few parts of this process we expect to change in the medium term - allowing processes in the target language to drive the deployment lifecycle without the need for the `Pulumi` CLI (for embedding and for testing) but those changes are still a little way in the future. 

Oh ok. I'm very adept at golang. I will look at your open issues and see if I can start to contribute back. I'd like to see execution FROM golang become a reality.
